Zulily VFX Breakdown

I’ve put together a breakdown for one of the most fun spots I’ve worked on, “Zulily - Welcome to Zulily.” Client wanted a large array of work to be done, from simple set extensions to a fully 3D pyro simulation. I mostly stayed within Flame to handle all of the cleanup and composite, but I modeled a 3D balloon, integrated a 3D tea kettle model, and created the pyro simulation within Cinema 4D. I had never professionally worked with pyro/water simulations so I had a blast figuring out how to achieve the effect they were looking for.
